I truely HATE this class envy crap that the politicians and press keep fueling. You hear it everywhere, how did working hard to provide a nice life for our families become so wrong. I am by no means a 1%er, but 90% of the work I do is for the 1%. For the most part, these are descent, honorable, hard working people providing for there families just like me. There are exceptions of course, but that is every tax bracket.
I've gotten to the point that if someone even starts the rich argument, I can't even take them seriously. We can debate taxes, but I can tell you that if you work hard, your taying over 50% in taxes by the time you add the fed, state, local, property, sales,fuel, etc,etc.
I lay the decay of the family at the feet of the government, once the tax rate got that high Mom could no longer stay home and raise little Tommy. Due to 50% of your income be obsorbed by the government, to have any kind of quality of life Mom and Dad both had to work. This kept both parent working and stressing over making ends meet, not leaving the time that most of our Moms had to spend on us. After all, look how good we all turned out.LOL
